In 10-15 years the number could be down to just 10. Most countries on this Planet dont produce enough Oil to meet their demands. Several countries that used to be major exporters have reached Peak Oil Decades ago and now rely on imports themselves. Germany produced 170 000 Barrels of Oil a day in 1968 at their peak. Now? 30 000/day. They need 2 Million a day. Romania produced 300 000 Barrels of Oil a day in 1976 at their peak. Now? 50 000/day. They need 200 000 a day. France hit the peak in 1988 with 67 000 barrels/day. Now its down to just 10 000/day. They need 1.5 Million. The UK peaked in 1998 with 2.8 Million barrels/day. Now they are down to just 600 000/day. They need 1.4 Million every day." ### Discussion #2 by @USASoninSaikhan > **Author:** [@USASoninSaikhan](https://x.com/USASoninSaikhan) > **Metrics:** 24 likes · 28 retweets · 5 comments · 1.3K views > **Posted:** 2026-10-01T14:41:13+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/USASoninSaikhan/status/2105669366968643956](https://x.com/USASoninSaikhan/status/2105669366968643956) > > "Gasoline has arrived, but it's still scarce...
